[Intro]

I know sometimes it's hard
To put our pride aside
When all we should do is just say
I'm sorry
I'm sorry, baby

All alone in my room
I see visions of you
And I think to myself
What went wrong

As I sit here with my pain
Knowing I'm the one to blame
Had to play those silly games
Now there's no refrain, refrain

1 - I should of listened when you cried
I should of opened up my eyes
Too busy holding on to pride
I didn't hear you say goodbye

2 - So how do I say I'm sorry
When you're gone
How do I say that you were right
And baby I was wrong

I can feel that old black water
Commin' down on me strong
Cuz see, I had a real good something
And now I'm sitting here with nothing
I'm drowning, can somebody help me
Tell me how to say I'm sorry

So yesterday I sat and wrote these words
And tried not to cry
Guess it's true what they say
You never miss your water 'till your well runs dry

I miss your face, your faults, your laughter
Your tears, the way you smile (I miss your smile)
Can't nobody take your place
Damn girl, I really miss your sweet embrace

Repeat 1
Repeat 2
Repeat 2

[Ad lib]
If there's anyone you need to say I'm sorry to
(I'm sorry)
Say it out loud, ohh before they're no longer around
(I'm sorry, how do I say it)
Say sorry, I'm sorry
(I'm sorry, how do I say it, ooh)
Yeah, y'all better listen
(I'm sorry, how do I say it)
You've gotta make something right now
(I'm sorry, how do I say it, ooh)
This is what you need to do, now baby
This is what you need to do
Just say I'm sorr
